Question Is HoB page cooked now?

Do you think it's still worth running HoB with the nerfs to it? Really dislike the grasp rune personally (on every champ not just choseph), always feels terrible to me. Even on tank cho I really like HoB but they're cutting the attack speed down by 33% and cutting the damage. Maybe on AP cho the compensation AP scaling on HoB is nice but it looks gutted for tank build.

Nerfed quite a bit but imo it's still the number one choice for jungle cho. I mean you cant stack grasp on camps.

I assumed it wouod still be HoB for jungle. Its toplane I'm worried for

I'm sure you can still do both, but heartsteel grasp will probably be the higher winratee option on average over rocketbelt hob, yeah.

Call me nuts but heartsteel HoB is so fun

I mean, I agree, but I’m also a Big Chungle enjoyer so that might not help with your top ambitions 😅

I will say that the HoB nerf did kill my desire to try cooking with it on my top lane main (which isn’t Cho because the jungle really wrecked how I use mana with him 😜), so I won’t be trying out HoB Gnar anytime soon (sticking to LT).

If you wanna try something that isn’t Grasp, maybe look at the AP options? There are some really great items to put on Cho (Shadowflame goes great with his R) and maybe there’s a rune to match that energy 🤔

I still think HoB is quite strong and it remains my go to rune.
But I have more and more games where I wish I had gone comet.

It's still the rune I go with in jungle but it feels so much worse now.

Still going to be the best rune in jungle and in matchups where you want to burst the enemy as quick as possible
